This gettin’ up early, pulling double shifts / Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich / But I’m tryin’ / It’s been two years since we’ve finalized / I still ain’t used to puttin’ ex in front of wife / But I’m tryin’ / Send more money right away / is pretty much all she has to say when she calls these days / and don’t you be late Another good divorced dad song is Trace Adkins’ I’m Tryin’–to watch the music video, click here. The lyrics are below. In the picture, the father has just spent some nice time with his son, the ex-wife is coming to pick the son up, and she’s ripping him away from his father and angrily criticizing her ex. We’ll put it in our divorced dad song collection,
along with Toby Keith’s Who’s That Man?, Tim McGraw’s Do You Want Fries With That?, and Sting’s I’m So Happy I Can’t Stop Crying, which was also later recorded by Toby Keith. I’m Tryin’ Written by Chris Wallin, Jeffrey Steele and Anthony Smith Sung by Trace Adkins This gettin up early, pulling double shifts, Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich. But I’m tryin It’s been two years since we’ve finalized, I still ain’t used to puttin ex in front of wife. But I’m tryin. Send more money right away, is pretty much all she has to say when she Calls these days and don’t you be late But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin There’s always a mountain in front of me, Seems I’m always climbin and fallin and climbin But I keep on tryin I remember daddy sayin keep your eye on the ball, run like hell, play to win, Get up when you fall I’m tryin Don’t say nothin that you can’t take back Never do anything you might regret No don’t do that Daddy I’m tryin Know the difference between heaven and hell Go easy on the bottle be hard on yourself And I know he meant well But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin There’s always a mountain in front of me, Seems I’m always climbin and fallin and climbin But I keep on tryin There’s always a mountain in front of me Seems I’m always climbin and stumblin And then fallin’ And then climbin’ But I keep on tryin’ This gettin up early pullin double shifts Gonna make an old man of me Long before I ever get rich But I’m tryin’ [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNS8Svz8gTY]
